Your PDF might appear on Google, but you have no control over its message or placement in search results.
Want a custom headline for your PDF in Google? Tough luck, you can’t set it.
A tailored description for search results? Nope, not an option.
Your PDF lacks a <head> section, leaving you powerless over its presentation.
Tracking analytics? Forget it—no way to inject code into a standalone PDF.
